Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alexandre Fournier raised to 60,000 from early position holding A♠10♦ and got called by Jack Sinclair in the cutoff with 5♠5♦, Rania Nasreddine on the button with Q♦J♦, Harry Lodge from the small blind holding 4♥4♣, and Jianwei Lin in the big blind with 8♦7♣.

The flop came 10♣J♥4♦ which checked all the way to Nasreddine on the button, who bet 125,000. Lodge then raised to 375,000 which got Lin, Fournier, and Sinclair all to fold, then Nasreddine called.

An A♦ fell on the turn and Lodge fired 550,000, and Nasreddine called.

When the 9♦ fell on the river, Lodge checked. Nasreddine quickly reached for chips and bet 750,000, which prompted Lodge to use some extra time. After using two time-extensions, Lodge found the fold with his set of fours, and Nasreddine was pushed the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rania Nasreddine	3,890,000 890,000	890,000

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Firoz Mangroe was first to act and raised to 60,000. Jack Kiriakus in the seat next to him made the minimum reraise to 90,000, after which Gal Bar made it 220,000 to go in the cutoff.

Mangroe quickly folded before Kiriakus called to the A♣10♥J♠ flop. He checked to Bar, who bet 140,000. Kiriakus surrendered his cards and the pot was shipper Bar's way.

"No ace, I take all your money," Kiriakus claimed as the hand wrapped up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jack Kiriakus	2,650,000 350,000	350,000

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Harry Lodge raised to 60,000 with K♥10♣ from the hijack and Jianwei Lin called in the cutoff. Alexandre Fournier also called from the big blind.

On the 6♦A♦K♠ flop, all three players checked to the 10♦ turn. Fournier led out for 100,000, Lodge called, and Lin raised to 250,000. Fournier called, and Lodge folded.

A K♦ fell on the river — which would have seen Lodge improve to a full house — and Fournier checked. Lin thought for a moment before he checked back.

Fournier tabled A♠Q♦ for a rivered flush, and Lin mucked his Q♠J♠ which turned Broadway.

Player	Chips	Progress
Harry Lodge	3,260,000 150,000	150,000
Jianwei Lin	2,290,000 850,000	850,000
Alexandre Fournier	2,170,000 390,000	390,000

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski and Pablo Beltran got to the river in a heads-up pot on a board of A♦10♠J♠2♣J♦.

Kovalski was first to act and put out a sizable bet of 655,000 with less than that in the pot. Beltran tossed out a chip for a call.

Kovalski showed A♥J♣ for jacks full of aces, while Beltran frustratingly showed K♣Q♥ for no-good Broadway.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabiano Kovalski	2,000,000 1,015,000	1,015,000
Pablo Beltran	1,300,000 700,000	700,000

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tomasz Krzesinski made it 60,000 in middle position. Vladimir Erceg pumped it up to 160,000 in the hijack and Krzesinski called once the action had folded back to him.

Erceg continued for 80,000 on the Q♠7♣5♥ flop, which Krzesinski check-called. The 2♠ turn was then checked through before Krzesinski led out for 150,000 on the 2♣ river.

Ercerg quickly let his hand go, leaving him with less than 30 big blinds.
